Dongfang Huaizhu scanned the area and finally spotted Dongfang Qinlan hiding under the table. She grabbed her up.
Seeing herself being caught, Dongfang Qinlan flushed with annoyance. She puffed out her cheeks and said angrily, "I don't want to be the drummer! Being the drummer is so boring!"
"Little sister, there's only one person here who can't drink. If you don't be the drummer, who will? Besides, being the drummer has its own fun. You see, while you're drumming, it's kind of you who decides who the flower - tube will end up with in the end. This kind of fun is something we can't experience."
In the end, Dongfang Qinlan grudgingly agreed. Seeing her deflated look, everyone burst into laughter.
Finally, it was decided that Dongfang Qinlan would be the drummer, and Li Quzhuo, Li Zizai, Wangquan Baoye, Dongfang Huaizhu, and Wangquan Zui would pass the flower - tube.
Since Dongfang Qinlan sat aside to drum, Wangquan Baoye sat beside Dongfang Huaizhu, whether intentionally or not. Dongfang Huaizhu was a bit surprised but didn't think much of it.
It might seem ordinary to Dongfang Huaizhu and she didn't give it a second thought. But to outsiders, it seemed that Wangquan Baoye had ulterior motives. Little sister Wangquan Zui, like a spectator, saw everything clearly. Her eyes narrowed into slits, as if saying, "Nothing can escape my eyes."
They found a simple flower - tube as the prop for the game and started passing it from Wangquan Zui.
As Dongfang Qinlan turned around, pouted her lips, and shouted, "I'm starting!" Immediately, the drumbeat in Dongfang Qinlan's hand, seemingly full of resentment, started to ring out rhythmically and quickly.
"Thump... thump... thump...!!!"
Hearing the drumbeat, Wangquan Zui quickly passed the flower - tube to Dongfang Huaizhu beside her. Dongfang Huaizhu looked serious, determined to win. She quickly passed the flower - tube in her hand to Wangquan Baoye.
Wangquan Baoye wasn't nervous at all. With a faint smile on his lips, he looked at Dongfang Huaizhu, who was so serious while playing the game, and passed the tube to Li Quzhuo.
Li Quzhuo got really into the game. He tossed the flower - tube in his hand but refused to pass it to his elder brother Li Zizai. Li Zizai blushed with anger and roared, "I think you're tired of living!"
Li Quzhuo had no choice but to reluctantly pass the flower - tube to Li Zizai, who then passed it back to Wangquan Zui.
Wangquan Zui took the flower - tube, gave a soft laugh, and with a sly look in her eyes, deliberately dropped the flower - tube on the ground.
Dongfang Huaizhu's face changed. She quickly bent down to look for it on the ground. Just as she finally crawled out from under the table with the flower - tube in her arms, the drumbeat stopped suddenly.
It was completely silent at this moment. Dongfang Huaizhu, with her hair in a mess, held the flower - tube in her hand, and her legs were still bent in the position of looking for it on the ground.
Dongfang Qinlan turned around and happened to see this scene. She couldn't help but slap her forehead, as if saying, "How could there be such a clumsy sister?"
Then, laughter roared in like a tide. Even Li Zizai couldn't help but laugh. Wangquan Baoye, looking at the silly - acting Dongfang Huaizhu, thought it was her true nature showing after drinking. She seemed a bit different from the Dongfang Huaizhu he knew before but also a bit cute. He couldn't help but curl his lips.
Dongfang Huaizhu could only smile and was about to pick up the wine cup to accept the punishment.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a hand snatched the wine cup. Dongfang Huaizhu took a closer look and saw that Wangquan Baoye had snatched the cup without hesitation and drank it all in one gulp.
In her previous life, there were really few men who would block the wine for her. Most men would urge her to drink. Seeing this peerlessly handsome and aloof man in front of her blocking the wine for her, Dongfang Huaizhu unconsciously put her hand on her face and found that her face was as hot as a furnace.
"Miss Huaizhu, you've already drunk quite a lot tonight. I'll drink this cup for you." By this time, Wangquan Baoye had already drunk a lot of wine, but he showed no sign of being drunk. His eyes were still clear, and his behavior was proper.
"Then thank you, sir." Dongfang Huaizhu tried to act calm to hide her blushing face.
However, not far away, Wangquan Zui saw everything clearly. She showed an aunt - like smile and her eyes darted around, probably thinking of some mischievous idea.
Later, they played several more rounds. Wangquan Baoye deliberately played tricks and made Li Quzhuo drink several cups as punishment. Li Quzhuo was so angry that he said his elder brother was so unfair! This made everyone burst into laughter.
During the drumming, the flower - tube in Li Quzhuo's hand accidentally slipped out and hit the wine pot on the table. The wine pot hit Wangquan Zui beside it.
Suddenly, all the fine plum wine was spilled on Wangquan Zui's skirt.
"Li! Qu! Zhuo...!" Wangquan Zui angrily scolded Li Quzhuo. Li Quzhuo quickly apologized with a smiling face and promised to compensate Wangquan Zui with a fine skirt. Only then did Wangquan Zui calm down.
"Miss Wangquan, if you don't mind, I have a few dresses that suit you very well..."
Before Dongfang Huaizhu could finish speaking, Wangquan Zui immediately nodded excitedly.
"Then thank you, Sister Huaizhu." Wangquan Zui happily followed Dongfang Huaizhu.
The two soon walked not far away. While Dongfang Huaizhu was looking for clothes in the wardrobe, Wangquan Zui strolled around, looking around.
Then, Wangquan Zui slightly parted her red lips and said, "If I'm not wrong, you must be in love with my elder brother, right?"
Dongfang Huaizhu, who was rummaging through the clothes in the cabinet, didn't expect Wangquan Zui to ask such a question. She quickly said incoherently, "N... nonsense! How... how could I fall in love with your elder brother? I just regard him as an ordinary friend."
Wangquan Zui gave a charming smile and narrowed her eyes. Like a shrewd madam, she looked at Dongfang Huaizhu and said, "Oh, I see... I thought you were in love with my elder brother."
Wangquan Zui carefully observed Dongfang Huaizhu's reaction. Dongfang Huaizhu seemed eager to end this topic. She quickly picked out a light - green long dress from the cabinet and handed it to Wangquan Zui.
"Miss Wangquan, please change into this dress."
Seeing that Dongfang Huaizhu refused to admit it, Wangquan Zui had no choice but to give up. She didn't press further and changed into the dress.
Meanwhile, on Wangquan Baoye's side.
Dongfang Qinlan was picking up food from the hot pot while pulling Wangquan Baoye and saying, "Courting a woman is not that easy!"
"Especially a spinster like my elder sister!" Dongfang Qinlan gestured as she discussed the secrets of courting a woman with Wangquan Baoye.
"Women, there's just one word for them, lust! Don't think that my elder sister looks aloof and unworldly on the surface. In fact, she's secretly very infatuated with handsome guys."
